Cold Air Intake System with K&N Filter

I have heard from several people from different forums that they would like an intake system for the Smart Car. I've attached a picture of an Intake system that we are offering.

i would guess the air mass sensor is housed in the intake manifold, after the filter assembly, it would be silly to place it elsewhere.

i'd still like to have what that certain someone is smoking or drinking to think this unit can heat 3000 liters of air 30F per minute!; ▶ Reply to This

You guys need to understand more auto technology, as well as simple laws of physics before you go spouting off about items like these.; ▶ Reply to This

i know holley carbs that suck down 850 cubic feet a minute on some V8's. 29 years ago i drove a firebird that was a bit modified, N50-15 tires, rear air shocks, which jacked the rear up so much the rear view mirror was useless.

where do you think "one liter" comes from? it's engine capacity, the volume/capacity of all cylinders in one revolution/cycle.

ummm... you just snatched the dunce cap from the annointed one, obama.

it's lonely at the top, my IQ is in the upper 130's, which puts me at the top 1% of "smart" people; ▶ Reply to This

Lets go for a drive.; ▶ Reply to This

I wouldn't brag about IQ prior to understanding the subject. Can you read?; ▶ Reply to This

lesson learned!; ▶ Reply to This

The feds caught you with that cell jammer yet? I've sent your posts to them so they can keep an eye out for you. They don't have computers in jail, so I won't have to see your posts anymore.; ▶ Reply to This

gary, you are still a 1st class moron to me.

i can afford a SG2, i choose not to buy one until i am working again. my smart was paid off 3 months after purchase.

when you learn elementary mathematics, bring it on! a smart consumes 3000 liters of air/fuel every minute at 60mph.; ▶ Reply to This

Each time the piston rises and then falls is one revolution. Intake/Compression/Power/Exhaust = 2 rotations of the crankshaft. Each cylinder is 'intaking' one time every two revolutions. This is why the camshaft(s) rotate(s) at half the speed of the crankshaft.

Your math is wrong. A 1 liter engine takes in one half if its total available volume of fuel/air each revolution.

And your 'brake-by-wire' hypothysis is wrong, too, genius. How do you dream this stuff up?; ▶ Reply to This

some villiage is missing it's idiot, please report soon!

Permalink Reply by mr bad example on August 10, 2008 at 10:15pm: um, each piston goes up and down twice in a cycle, SUCK down, SQUEEZE up, compression POP power and PHOOOIE down, exhaust.

either way, the capacity of the cylinders is one liter. stop with the BS. go back to the volume of the cylinders, tell me if the volume is 500cc's

Permalink Reply by Gary on August 10, 2008 at 10:29pm: What a goofball! Look up the bore and stroke. Total volume is 1 liter. Each revolution results in .5 liter intake...AND .5 liter exhaust. Half is taking in, half the volume is exhausting. And you are extremely exhausting!
